Unisys and NEC Partner To Produce Intel-based Xeon High-End Servers

NEC and Unisys today announced that they have completed development of the first generation of a common platform for both companies' enterprise servers in a bid to cut development time and associated costs.

NEC has begun manufacturing systems based on this common platform, and each company will market the systems as part of its own branded server line.

The common platform is the result of an alliance agreement the two companies signed in 2006. The alliance aims to provide industry-leading systems that leverage both companies' expertise in enterprise server products and enable them to reduce research and development costs.
